Image stabalization on Pentax

pentaxian67 · 2009-06-12T16:56:25+0100

I was thinking about getting the new K-7 but the image stabalization is in the menu, there is no switch for it like there is on the K-10 or K-20. I usually forget to turn off the stabalization when I use my tri-pod. How important is it to turn off the I.S. when using the tri-pod? with the K-7, I wouldn't bother going into the menu each time I use my tri-pod, but if it damages the camera, then Pentax should have put the switch on the camera and not in the menu.

As with the K10/K20D I think you will find it turn's itself off, i.e it senses when on a monopod or tripod like it does for panning shots.

Does it turn off on the K10D/K20D for panning shots?
You learn something new every day ....

As someone who has used a tripod once in over 12 months of having my K10D I have to say I wont miss the switch.
